Independent watchmakers and clockmakers are, and always have been, a leading creative force in horology. The vast majority of significant horological inventions would not exist without their pioneering efforts. The leading organization of independent watch and clock makers is the Horological Academy of Independent Creators or AHCI. You can visit their official site by clicking here.

At the forefront in this forum will be contemporary Independent Horologists. We will observe their work and discuss their accomplishments. Be assured however that we will not ignore earlier horological achievements. They are equally deserving of our appreciation and discussion, and they are certainly important to our improved understanding of horology.

Your involvement and posts will help make this forum successful and informative. Personal participation is encouraged, regardless of your background or opinion.
